Hell's Kitchen Season 4

neoknows, consider the source. Do you really expect reputable journalism from the FOX network? Their journalism is a joke, so what would you expect from FOX advertising?
Nevertheless, I watch Hell's Kitchen 4 on FOX for its entertainment value.

My friends and I don't care that the writers have limited culinary knowledge, in fact, that's the beauty of 'em to me. I can relate. Not many people, including myself, want to eat a ****e truffle or care about risotto. I'm there for the laughs, not for someone's professional opinion on how tasty a mushroom is! Thankfully it's all what you call "zing" - or it would be so boring to read, especially if you've already seen the episode. Lol. To each his own.
Thanks everyone for the kind welcomes! I have to weigh in on my picks for the final 2: I think it's going to come down to COREY vs PETROZZA. I don't think Bobby has a shot in hell at winning the title.
Pophangover did bring up another interesting point about the incessant deceptive advertising from Fox and it drove me crazy. I found it insulting. Corey/Louross in the hot tub (lie!), finger in someone's food (lie!), etc. Did that bother anyone else, or do you just consider it your everyday average "plea" for ratings?

Well, I went to the site and to tell you the truth it became tedious to read. Ah well, as you say, to each his own.
I'm with Apskip though, I watch Hell's Kitchen for the entertainment value. I've watched this show from the beginning so I'm a fan. I will say though that this year has been disappointing to me, either we are seeing contestants from the bottom of the barrel or we haven't seen what they are capable of doing. We aren't seeing top chefs here but have we really seen what they can do or has it been edited out. ??? (The TOP chefs were already on another show as Apskip has noted earlier in the thread.) :js:
I'm not impressed with Corey or the culinary student Christina... any of them. We'll see how the final 4 perform soon enough.

Texas Lady, I will give you my assessment of the remaining HK4 cast:
Overall - the weakest group of chefs I have ever seen on reality TV
Bobby - I think he has talent and he can exercise leadership when he chooses to; he is cunning and often adopts an under-the-radar approach; in his employment he functions as an Executive Chef, which is a big plus
Petrozza - has the most experience because he is at least 10 years older than anyone else still in this competition; I like him as a straight-shooter but cannot conceive of Ramsay hiring him for the new restaurant
Corey - I have liked Corey from the beginning; she has less experience than Bobby or Petrozza but she has a lot of culinary talent; I can see her being hired by Ramsay
Christina - very young and still a culinary student; there is no way she is going to be running Ramsay's new restaurant
Matt - what is he doing here? wasn't he eliminated a long time ago and aren't we just seeing his ghost? Matt has no chance at all of being hired by Ramsay. He has the least talent and the highest record of screw-ups. I think they kept him around this long for comic relief only.
Jen - I just discovered one week later that I left Jen out, She has decent culinary talent, but her headstrong approach has not been appreciated by the other chefs or by Ramsay.

I can't argue with your assessment. I believe the final two will be Corey and either Bobby or Petrozza. Matt should have been gone long ago, but he reminds me of Aaron who passed out last year, finally ending his stay long past when he should have been cut. (He like Matt and the fellow with the bad hair piece this year, should never have been put on the show to begin with.)
I hope that next year we see more qualified chefs. (I tried to convince my cousin to apply, he would have been good for drama.) :angel:

.... further to scarsonefan's post there seems to show some difference in the odd's for final 2
